This is a quick guide to a video series:
This short series takes a look at the increased value of the cute little pawn in the endgame. All three videos are appropriate for beginner-intermediate level (0-800).
How Strong is the Pawn 1: The reason the pawn is worth so much more in the endgame is because it has much better chances to queen. Here we see a single pawn threatening to queen against the almighty queen herself.
How Strong is the Pawn 2: Next up: actually queening the little pawn! Now how strong is he? (as strong as a queen).
How Strong is the Pawn 3: Here we see an endgame with only kings and pawns. The presence of a single extra pawn on the queenside is enough for white to win easily!
How Strong is the Pawn 4: Surely the tricky knight can take care of a single rook pawn by himself, right? It turns out things aren't so simple! Learn some of the intricacies of knight vs pawn!
How Strong is the Pawn 5: Can a rook handle 2 connected passed pawns on the 6th rank all by himself? Amanda describes this important scenario in detail.
